libbpf: Support expected_attach_type at prog load
Support setting `expected_attach_type` at prog load time in both `bpf/bpf.h` and `bpf/libbpf.h`. Since both headers already have API to load programs, new functions are added not to break backward compatibility for existing ones: * `bpf_load_program_xattr()` is added to `bpf/bpf.h`; * `bpf_prog_load_xattr()` is added to `bpf/libbpf.h`. Both new functions accept structures, `struct bpf_load_program_attr` and `struct bpf_prog_load_attr` correspondingly, where new fields can be added in the future w/o changing the API. Standard `_xattr` suffix is used to name the new API functions. Since `bpf_load_program_name()` is not used as heavily as `bpf_load_program()`, it was removed in favor of more generic `bpf_load_program_xattr()`.
